Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
Baby, I've been, I've been prayin' hard
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
We'll be counting stars
[Verse 2]
Hey-yeah
Yeah, oh
[Verse 3]
I see this life like a swinging vine
Swing my heart across the line
In my face is flashing signs
Seek it out and ye shall find
[Verse 4]
Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
We're just doing what we're told
[Verse 5]
I feel something so right
Doing the wrong thing, yeah
And I feel something so wrong
Doing the right thing, yeah
[Verse 6]
I couldn't lie, couldn't lie
I couldn't lie
Everything that kills me
Makes me feel alive
[Verse 7]
Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But, baby, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars, yeah, oh
[Verse 8]
I feel the love, and I feel it burn
Down this river, every time
Hope is a four letter word
Make that money, watch it burn
[Verse 9]
Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
We're just doing what we're told
[Verse 10]
I feel something so right
Doing the wrong thing, yeah
I couldn't lie, couldn't lie
Couldn't lie
'Cause everything that drowns me
Makes me wanna fly
[Verse 11]
Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
And baby, I've been, I've been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars
[Verse 12]
Oh, take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I've learned
Take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I've learned
Take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I've learned
Take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I've learned
[Verse 13]
I've been, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But, baby, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars
[Verse 14]
Take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I've learned
Take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I've learned
Take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I've learned
Take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I've learned
